Right, sure, and that game is not lifting the market, generally speaking.

The author only said they took classes in nuclear engineering.

I think it’s unreasonable to classify someone as an expert because they took a few courses in the curriculum for a related discipline.

Sylvia Plath was publishing complex poetry at 8 and was already showing the intense and dark themes she's become an icon for at 14.

If you haven't dealt with what Plath or this woman has, or are some credentialed authority on early childhood development of exceptional children (or poetry), I can't understand why your speculation on this is worth listening to.

An even better reason might be that the operator has been fined more than the market cap of this fund.

Another perspective - the ETF tracking shipping indices (BDRY) is outperforming every other US ETF for 2021 YTD at 177%, including leveraged index ETFs.

This is a myopic take on both Levine's writing and the external impact that stupidity can have on other market participants, positioned in entirely different assets.

snakedoctor, you have borderline traits and should try to work with a therapist to gain insight into the dissonance between how you see yourself and how others see you. It is not realistic for you to achieve your goals without working on your mental health first.

Sure, it's regulated, but which regulation states they have a fiduciary duty to you?

Given they are currently arguing in court they have no such duty, but only to act in their customers best interest, perhaps this isn't sufficiently clear to them.

Most of this is misdirection intended to confuse the case around his recent pumping.

Perhaps Chamath had reflected on why a celebrity shouldn't be pumping a derivatives trade on Twitter.

A MM expects to make pennies for selling an option.

If there is a sufficient squeeze, and GME doesn't issue new shares, each of those options (especially those purchased earlier) will result in tens or hundreds of dollars of profit to the holder.

What's your math for asserting that Citadel is making "the most money" "by a huge margin"?

In NYC, this is more likely.

Yes, they actually exist in the West as research reactors, since there has been no demonstration or certification of their suitability for long-term operation.

These examples provide your answer - digging just past the surface, they're not better at giving people what they want.

The vaneless ion generator is >5x less efficient.

Molten Salt Reactors, on the surface, sound quite safe, but nuclear power's primary problem is economics, and this is an unproven technology operating over the long time scales needed to amortize reactor construction costs. Nuclear power systems present novel failure mechanisms that don't exist in everyday technology, such as the corrosion mechanisms caused by coupling of mechanical, thermal, chemical, and radiological stresses, and MSR's present a new set of these that are poorly understood. Additionally, MSR's exhibit thermal shocks in normal operations orders of magnitude above what may be produced in a water-cooled reactor.

It's just not that simple - it looks simple to you.

Monte Carlo is a class of algorithms, just like FFT isn't a code or a specific algorithm but a class of algorithms.

Is "worthwhile science" a jab at nuclear applications?

MC was developed by and used for the Manhattan Project - almost the entire computer architecture we are using to communicate resulted from military research related to strategy concerning weapons that could not have been made without MC, and this remade not only our relationship with technology but the geopolitics of the entire world.

I would say that, more broadly, the omission is the lack of any mention of the use of random sampling, including MC and random methods in machine learning.

Regardless of the truth in this specific case, Avi has some very interesting ideas such as the habitable early universe.

I think finding space jellyfish would also be a monumental discovery.

Monte Carlo is a big omission.

This article doesn't address important differences in the scenario in which a launch order is given out-of-the-blue, and when a launch order is issued following certain events.

I saw a topological diagram of how each of these systems and many not mentioned were connected to each other, and it raised more questions than it answered.

We're setting the precedent that supporting White Supremacist insurrection against the United States will get punished the same way each time.

Russia doesn't have democracy, and Amazon isn't a Russian company, so I hardly understand your analogy.

Why would you compare what Russia does to political prisoners with the military's discipline in the United States?

This may be news to you, but military service members are subject to an independent justice system with different protections, different laws, and different penalties.

You're arguing that US corporations should be restricted from taking action to suppress insurrection on the basis of having your head in the sand. The US should be in a state of emergency now, and it's obvious to me that it's solely because a white supremacist has replaced the civilian leadership of our government with those complicit in this act.

You're free to ignore what has happened, or believe in an alternate reality. Some of us would be guilty of violating our oaths were we to do the same.

What's the calculation you need to make?

Don't provide an unmoderated online platform for neo-nazis preparing for genocide.

I didn't finish my math major but this seems straightforward.

The United States Government decided it was fair, in many administrative and legal venues, across the country. Many Republican officials and judges affirmed it, even under intense and illegal pressure from the President and his cadre.

This platform was used to coordinate an insurrection against the United States Government, and refused to act against those doing so.

The severity of insurrection in US legal code is such that the military may be deployed domestically, and those service members who abetted it are guilty of an offense whose primary punishment in the UCMJ is death.

This isn't just another political issue. The most existential issue facing the state is the integrity of the Constitution.

They don't need to assume, because they will have your private messages and posts.

I don't dispute that, I was trying to present a somewhat simplified view of this in a succinct comment.

To me, the most interesting aspects of classification were that the title, content, and classification level itself don't necessarily share levels.

Read the Turner Diaries.

They need to balance this against the impact this would have on their long-term ability to minimize taxes for the wealthy.

I believe SSBN crews would have been informed of these events by their CO over 1MC, and I'm sure COB would have his hands full censoring everybody's inbound email.

Now I need to ask my boys when they come back in...

There are controls in place to delay a launch order that comes out of nowhere.

Who knows what would happen. It's heartening that in multiple instances, both the US and USSR ignored positive and confirmed indications of massive incoming attack in the hopes they were erroneous.

NOFORN is not a level but an orthogonal restriction.

Information could be Secret and NOFORN or Secret and Five-Eyes, for instance.

This would never be used by USG. Confidential -> Classified

The classification scheme is broadly cut up into Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, and Codeword. There are many modifiers to that such as Five-Eyes, Cosmic (NATO), and Restricted-Data (Nuclear Weapon Design).

There are a menagerie of controls that don't rise to classification, like NOFORN, Law Enforcement Sensitive, For official use only, etc.
